Discover Dance! Jazz Dance

Join Justin Sears-Watson, teaching artist with Arts for Learning, for a lesson in Jazz Dance. Jazz continues to evolve and gain popularity today because of artists like Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul, who embraced commercial jazz.

This event is being presented as a video on The Indianapolis Public Library's Facebook page and YouTube page.

Shows like So You Think You Can Dance made Contemporary Jazz more popular. Still, this style originated from African American vernacular dances and street styles and began as early as the mid-twentieth century! You’ll have fun and feel sassy, joyful, and empowered in this class that will focus on isolating different parts of the body to upbeat and exciting music.
